Looks like a refinement, which is perfectly ok. But I think TLR alienates potential customers by not having all metric hardware. It would prevent me from buying one. Metric is just easier, especially if you keep everything using 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5mm drivers. As much as we have to work on these things anything that makes wrenching easier is better.

If you feel alienated because you need 2 additional drivers ( the 2mm works with 80% of the hardware, BTW) then I don't know what to say.... Plenty of other good cars out there that have metric hardware.

This thread starts out with this, pics get released and..... Back to metric vs standard
I don't see what the problem is with either. As long as they don't fall out, who cares...

Well though I haven't had one that long, moving the center dif 8e to the drivers side slightly, 1/4 inch, to remove some of the front shaft angle wasn't a huge stretch. I even thought of modding the mount holes on mine to do this. I'm also curious about the longer arms. Lol mine has a 2.0 chassis and arms, with a 2.0 gas buggy camber link setup, heavier tighter ends, with a 15 degree frt caster setup like a 3.0, dogbones all four corners. I bet I can find something on the 4.0 that will work with it lol. FrankenLosi!

Extra tools and fractions are turn offs
But, that's how they roll. Interested in what neobuggy said about rear arms!

this^. dont really want to drag it out any further because i really dont care for this car...but in support of the few local guys around here that really really like it and want to drive losi cars...it really isnt easy to find imperial tools anywhere outside of the US...so your tools become a special order thing too and no borrowing tools from fellow racers on raceday...im sorry you arent sticking my nice 2mm in your almost-the-same fractional screw head.
